These Things No. 65

one of my favourite voyeuristic things at the moment is seeing life through Jamie Beck’s eyes since she moved from NYC to Provence. (do you guys remember her blog way back when it was hosted on Tumblr?). she visits old chateaus and shops at the local market and dresses up in fresh white linen – all the while taking insanely beautiful self-portraits. follow her now if you don’t already! her Instagram Stories are the best.

a playground of another sort: have you seen Anna Wintour’s garden at her home in Long Island? she has had the same landscaper – Miranda Brooks – working on it for 20 years. it’s the most beautiful wild, rambling garden ever. “The whole of the place is conceived as very relaxed… it appears very natural, it appears fairly effortless. It’s not. At all. There’s a combination of wanting order, so the architecture side of it is very planned and every view has been thought about, but I want it to feel loose and I don’t want it to have any rigidity to it. So maybe that’s where our two personalities meet.” be sure to watch the video.
